Re: JIMMYMAC VS. ODDSMAKER DISPUTE: THE VERDICT
I don't even see one person agreeing, outside of the EOG clan.Other than yourself and a few EOG employees, no one thinks this is a good decision.
if it was a good decision, wouldnt' at least a few people here think it was good? Wouldn't this be split 50/50 down the middle? No one thinks this is legit. In fact, the EOG employees don't count because they have conflict of interest, so besides you, no one thinks this is the right decision.
its really hard to justify not paying off a bet. The most important thing in gambling is to pay. Books who aren't going to pay, even if they think they are in the right, are hurting the industry. They are hurting YOUR industry. The industry of offshore books is getting this reputation of not paying if they don't feel like it. Whether that's true or not is not as relevant as reputation.
The thing that most people will take out of this is that you really can't be sure if a book is going to pay the winners or not. Who's to say that next time they won't find another 'rule' to not have to pay?
You gotta pay, even if you think you are in the right, because in the long run, you have to find a way to restore a damaged reputation.
Time to rethink this and pay off Jimmy. Pay him his money and 86 him from ever playing there again and at the same time, find a way to not have little hidden 'rules' that might put the book in a bad position like this in the future.
Offshore books need to find a way to pay, no matter what.
